Exclamation C270 HELP!! How to remove the Rear Bumper trim/strip w203 Wagon

Hello MB lovers!!!

I'm kind of new here, but I've searched high and low, and I can't find anything that explains how or if if it's possible to remove the trim/strip of my rear bumper.

The problem:
Somebody hit my rear bumper and now the right parking sensor is out of place.
It works sometims, wich tells me that it might be ok.
I want to put it in place. But I'll need to remove the strip or the bumper.

From the infomation that I could obtain, the general strip is divided in three,
but mine is One.

I've put some images so you can have the idea of the bumper.

The main question is, can I remove just the strip/trim? If so, How?

Best regards,
Rui Silva

That trim strip is just inserted in to the bumper cover; bunch of tabs are holding it in place. Use a plastic pry tool and slowly pry it out.

Do you know where i can get a schematic of the trim so I pry in the exact places and minimise de damage?

Or a photo of the trim off the bumper. That would be GREAT!!!!
